Question

The relative density of a metal block is $2.7\times {10}^{3}kg/m^3$. It is immersed in water. Then the metal block

• A. sinks
• B. floats
• C. is partially immersed in water
• D. has no part immersed in water

Answer 1

The correct option is A sinks

relative density=density of substance/density of water

2.7x${10}^3$=density of substance/1000

density of substance=2.7x${10}^6$ kg/ $m^3$

since the density of block is ore than the density of water, therefore it will sink.
